Gecko Galz: Ocean Blues

  Hello

The August customer challenge over at the Gecko Galz blog is well under way.  

The theme this month is Beach Babes.

As always, we also have the monthly card challeng.e, the monthly Christmas Image Challenge, the monthly Stamp Challenge, an ATC challenge, a Steampunk challenge and a Gothic Challenge on the blog, as well as 4 Facebook challenges. These can be accessed by the tabs at the top of the main blog page.

And, new for this year, we have a new challenge, the quarterly challenge.. This quarter the challenge is to make an altered mason jar.

We hope you can find some time to join in the fun.

The winner of the Customer challenge will get a $25 Gecko Galz Etsy Store voucher and the runner up a $12 voucher. There are plenty of free Gecko Galz images if you don't already own any. Each blog post has a free image to collect and, if you sign up for the monthly newsletter, there is the chance to claim a free collage set each month.  Also if you make any purchase of $2 or more you receive a free image.

I made a pair of note cards

I adore the images on the Sirens collage set and chose two as toppers for my cards.

I paired the images with digital paper from the Neverland ATC set and the Playing with Marbles ATC set

My trusty gold card came out for matting and layering.

And I made some die cut foliage from inked card, as well as some coral. Some gold mesh trim was tucked within the foliage and a small die cut flower has a pearl centre.

I also made a decoupaged collage card: 

The lighthouse is from the Lighthouse Jewel It set and the girl is from the Beach Babes collage set. I cut the background paper, from the Crumbling Walls paper pack, to overlap the base of the lighthouse like 'waves' and popped the girl on foam pads. Underneath her is double sided tape which had sandy glitter applied. The seagull was decoupaged and left with open wings. The blue background paper is from the Splashdown ATC set.

I also made this retro card for the start of the challenge and you can see the info about this one here.
